Just as your body needs different clothing to protected against the changing weather, your skin needs a different skin care regimen to properly protect it from the elements. As the body’s largest organ, skin is far more delicate than you probably realize. Here’s a closer look at how winter versus summer affects skin and it’s care.

Winter months generally are colder and dryer then summer months when heat and humidity levels are on the rise. When skin is exposed to the harsh winter weather, it takes a beating, becoming excessively dry, irritated and chapped. Clothing protects most skin but we often fail to protect our faces.

During the summer, higher temperatures and humidity levels increase the amount of sweat the body produces in an attempt to cool off. As a consequence, skin becomes oriole year and more prone to pimples another irritations.

Always protect your skin from the effects of UVA & UVB by applying sunscreen. Ex. Biomani Sunscreen

Excessive sweat & oils clog pores so use a cooling cleanser containing salicylic acid to keep skin blemishes under control. Ex. Acne control theracleanser

Change your moisturizing product because skin doesn’t need as much moisturizing protection during summer as it does during winter.
